I'm not too sure about Debian packages, but you can set up pretty kick-ass
firewalls with any of these sol'ns:

http://leaf.sourceforge.net/

or the one I use:

http://www.bbiagent.net/

you don't even need an HD or CDROM drive in the machine, if that's the way you
wanna go.

The king of 'em all, I suppose, though is Smoothwall:

http://www.smoothwall.org/

that one I believe runs off of a CD, supposed to be the best (free as in
beer) firewall you can get, unless you want to mess with configuring IPTables
yourself with a full-blown distribution install like Debian.
